net: ipv4: Convert IP network timestamps to be y2038 safe



ICMP timestamp messages and IP source route options require
timestamps to be in milliseconds modulo 24 hours from
midnight UT format.

Add inet_current_timestamp() function to support this. The function
returns the required timestamp in network byte order.

Timestamp calculation is also changed to call ktime_get_real_ts64()
which uses struct timespec64. struct timespec64 is y2038 safe.
Previously it called getnstimeofday() which uses struct timespec.
struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
